Maybe, install xinit/startx (can't remember exact package name), then purge slim - the package manager knows that you have X installed & is trying to be 'helpful' by not breaking it, I expect.

Ah, right, haven't actually run MIYO since that weird green pukey back drop, (not sure how long ago that was).....

Like it!

Even though I don't use it, (never actually heard of it, but might give it a try).

Thanks for posting the solution.

There are several rippers for Linux, some will automatically add the metadata if you are connected to the internet.

Here's one such program - https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-grip/

My computer course in 1994 used Lotus 1-2-3 & WordStar as its primary software, when I got a computer for myself I used WordStar & WordPerfect, with As-Easy-As, a Shareware version of Lotus 1-2-3.

When I started on Linux, I used SC, (Spreadsheet Calculator), a simple spreadsheet for the terminal; didn't need a word prossesor, so just used an editor, but I did use sqlite occasionally, for simple record keeping - ah, those were the days!

I use Devuan because it's what Debian used to be.

If it doesn't suit you, try a different distro, that's the beauty of Linux, choice.

Via the menu.

Applications > Settings > Panel

Just picked up & re read my copy of Into The Core - it's all about Tiny Core Linux & how it works.

Looks like it's a log file of the devices that had been attached, should be perfectly safe to empty/delete.

Hmm, I've just swapped over most of mine to SSDs, I thought they had improve performance these days, compared to when first introduced, but I don't have anything really important, & I do keep recent backups, so I'll likely be OK.

I still have some HDDs, & these are what I backup too, (usually have 2 copies, different disks), I'd hate to have to replace all my music & downloaded stuff.

Normally you just need to wipe the boot sectors of the disk - I do it using dd.

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=dev/sda bs=4M count=1

Write a copy of the super block to the drive, even if you lose what was overwritten by the .iso file, you should be able to recover the rest to copy to another disk.
